:This is a sub-article to Sunni view of the Sahaba.

Sunni doctrine includes the concept that 'all Sahaba go to heaven, due to the uprightness of all Sahaba. This has been traditionally interpreted as the ten Sahaba were granted paradise during their life times and the remainder were given a promise of entering paradise after death:

:Undoubtedly, such phrases as "did all the Sahaba' enjoin what is good and forbid what is wrong? No" shall come as millstones around the neck of their speakers on the Day of Judgment, when they shall be facing the Sahaba - and the Prophet (saw)- in shame. And Allah Most High might ask them: What business did you have reviling the men and women I chose as Companions for My Most Beloved, Most Respected, Most Praised Servant??<ref> </ref>

And also:
:Allah has chosen the sahaba over all of humankind. He has promised them heaven because of their patience and strong faith<ref> </ref>

Sunni also wrote:
:The general body of Sahaba were told about the heavens, whilst the special Sahaba were told about special occurrences.' Hazrath Bilal was told about how his footsteps were heard in Heaven (Jannah) because he always remained in a state of ‘ritual purity’ (wudhu) and always performed the two-nafil salaat of wudhu. The ladies were told about how hell will be filled by a majority of women due to their being ungrateful. The Ulema were told about their tongues being cut by scissors of fire because they preached morality but they practised to the contrary.

:When he told the general Sahaba about the meetings with the different Prophets, he also mentioned how he saw Musa (Alai' his salaam) in his Blessed Grave. The words of the Hadith are " Kana yusalli fi qabrihi". The word Salaat (yusalli) in Arabic means "namaaz or prayer", and it also means, "to send blessings” (durood / salaam)". So it could mean he saw Musa (Alai' his salaam) reading his namaaz or, my belief tells me that Musa (Alai' his salaam) saw the Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and Musa (Alai' his salaam) sent salutations ("durood o salaam”) upon the Leader of the Messengers (Sayyid ul-mursaleen).

:When he sat with the most special Sahaba, the four beloveds, (chaar yaar) and those that had deep knowledge coupled with inner illumination (Ashab us-Safa or Ahle Marifa), he told them about his seeing and experiencing of Allah (Didare Ilahi) and the spiritual connotation of the Mi'raj.<ref> miraj essence.htm</ref>

:10.5 We must also believe that all the Sahaba are Jannatis. This is so because they loved and respected our Nabi Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) more than their own lives and sacrificed everything they had for him and for Almighty Allah's Deen.<ref> </ref>

:They received glad tiding not to enter hell.<ref name = Companions> </ref>

:None of them will enter hell: Hudaibia participants<ref name = Companions/>

: They consider al-Muhajireen (those who migrated from Makkah to al-Madeenah for Islam) to be superior to al-Ansar (the helpers of al-Madeenah who supported the Muhajireen). They have faith in what Allah has said about the 313 persons on the occasion of the battle of Badr that, 'they are free to do what they like, their sins are pardoned' [al- Bukharee]. And none of those who gave their pledge to the Prophet (s.a.w.) under the tree will get into Fire as the Prophet (s.a.w.) has stated, 'Allah is doubtlessly pleased with them and they are pleased with Allah.' And they were more than 1400 about whom the Prophet (s.a.w.) bore witness that they will be admitted to Paradise [Muslim]. The Ahlus Sunnah also bear witness the admission to Paradise for them such as the ten Companions who have been given glad tiding of Paradise in this world by the Prophet." [Al-aqeedatul Wasitiyyah of Shaikh ul-Islam Ibn Taymeeyah]

:The Companions' Noble Deeds

:We believe that the Sahaba were not innocent of the minor or major sins, but their qualities and deeds were so virtuous and superior that they cause the pardon of the errors committed by them. We believe that if any of the Sahaba committed mistake, he either repented or performed such virtuous deeds that they are either pardoned or will be interceded for by the Prophet (s.a.w.) as they are most deserving of his intercession.<ref> </ref>

Shi'a view

The Shia judge the Sahaba based on their relations to the Ahlul Bayt and on their actions during the war between Ali and Muawiyah.
